I'm only going to consider Democratic Candidates in 2028 that are willing to use Gitmo as intended. Let these unAmerican domestic terrorists rot there while awaiting trial.

We cannot - MUST NOT - go back to status quo thinking. That requires you and me both to be a little cruel and start defining the enemies of America.

Those of us left of the old Republican party have NEVER done that before. They EXPECT us to play nice. They don't expect us to punish them for pissing on the Constitution.

It's enough. We aren't doing that again. But it requires a calculating coldness and will to move America forward from rank and file Americans like you and me.
